- Red: Better to be an old man's darling than a young man's slave. You ever heard that?
- Patty Wafers: [laughs]
- Gally: Yeah, you know what else they said? The older they get, the better they were when they were young.
- Red: I'm old, see.I'm broke and I'm alone. And I'm more 'scared of dying with somebody spoon feeding me oatmeal, than anything else in the world.
- Patty Wafers: I'm glad I'm here with you.
- [kneeling]
- Patty Wafers: Were you really going to take me back to Texas with you? Or were you just shitting me?
- Red: Hell yeah I was gonna take you back to Texas with me, of course. Not that I got a pot to piss in, or a window to throw it out of.
- [chuckles]
- Patty Wafers: It's okay. Come home with me then.
- Red: Hey, look at that damn hat, will ya. You know, you can tell a lot about a man by the hat he's wearin'. Read his whole history, as a matter of fact. Every day, everything he's been through, everything he's made of. By God, it's all written right there in his hat, chapter and verse. Right? Yeah. And I'll tell you something else.
- [chokes up]
- Red: I found me a grandson. Yeah.
- Gally: I'm glad for both of you. Really, I'm glad.
- Patty Wafers: Come with us.
- Red: Yeah, come on. It's still a wild and woolly country down here. You just might like it.
- Gally: No, I uh, I think I've had enough wild and woolly for a while.
